How do we know that God speaks to individuals personally?

Answered in 1 source

God speaks personally to individuals, as demonstrated by His calling of Samuel by name, illustrating His intimate knowledge and relationship with His people.

In the sermon, it is highlighted that when God calls an individual, such as Samuel, He does so personally, by name. This illustrates God's intimate relationship with those whom He chooses. The call of Samuel emphasizes that God is not distant; rather, He is actively involved in the lives of His elect. Just as Samuel did not recognize God's voice initially, many today may overlook His prompting. However, God's persistent calling reveals His grace and desire for a relationship with each individual, emphasizing His particular grace toward those whom He has redeemed. This personal nature of God's communication is foundational to understanding one's relationship with Him.
